Chapter 290: Spring Appreciation Ceremony (3): Self-inflicted humiliation
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun was cross-examined by Xu Jin, and his face sank suddenly, he just didn't like Xu Jin's strategy at the Luming Banquet, so he dared to point the finger at Zhang Zhong, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and snorted coldly: "Clever words, since you are a boy trying to be a little three, don't you dare to let Ben Hou be exquisite?" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the people present showed strange looks, and the marquis of a martial arts family actually wanted to study a man, isn't it a bit of an axe? Although everyone was a little unconvinced by Xu Jin's hand-picked Xie Yuan, not to mention anything else, just those poems made by Xu Ziqian, there was no one present who dared to take it lightly. Where did Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, get the confidence to study Xu Jin, is this to put his face over and let people fan him?
Xu Jin said indifferently: "Why don't you dare!" ”
Marquis of Wuding stroked his palms and said loudly: "Okay, have the courage, then the Hou will come out with three pairs, if you can't come up, it means that you are in vain, leave here immediately, and don't participate in the next Spring Festival Appreciation Meeting, so as not to be embarrassed." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder Wu Dinghou was so angry, you must know that this thing can be constructed, and even let others prepare it for yourself, so Wu Dinghou must have come prepared, and he had already made up his mind to embarrass Xu Jin.
Xiao Huai couldn't help frowning, he vaguely guessed the reason why Wuding Hou was embarrassed, but he didn't come forward to play a round, first, the few princes present were not offended, and second, they couldn't hide from the first fifteen, if Xu Jin wanted to correct his name, he had to pass this level, and third, Xiao Huai also wanted to see Xu Jin's talent, if he couldn't even connect three pairs, then this son was indeed in vain, and it was not worth helping him at all.
Xu Jin glanced at the smiling British Duke Zhang Lun next to the Marquis of Wuding, and the Duke of Wei Xu Pengju, who was drinking casually, and couldn't help but secretly curse your uncle!
Obviously, the Marquis of Wuding, the Duke of England, and the Duke of Wei are partnering to pit themselves, but the Marquis of Wuding's status is the lowest, so he directly stepped forward to act as a pioneer.
With Xu Jin's IQ, this will naturally understand the reasons why several nobles have partnered with each other, and nine times out of ten it is the policy question he answered at the Luming banquet, two of which are seriously damaging to the interests of nobles. They are Qingtianzhuang and the title demotion inheritance law, especially the second one, which is undoubtedly cutting off the lifeblood of the nobles, and it is no wonder that the other party will attack him.
The so-called title downgrading inheritance method is that the title is downgraded by one level for each hereditary generation, for example, a prince becomes a prince when the title is passed on to a son, a prince becomes a prince when it is passed on to a grandson, and a marquis becomes a marquis when it is passed to a great-grandson, and then a marquis becomes an earl......
And so on, the title will be zeroed after a few generations, and the descendants will revert to the status of commoners, not taking state favors and enjoying privileges, which can greatly reduce the financial expenses of the imperial court.
And the Ming Dynasty is now implementing the hereditary lineage of no demotion lords, coupled with the special ability of the vassal kings and nobles in various places, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and the children of the vassal kings and nobles have been as many as cows, these people are rice moths fed by the state finances, and have become a heavy burden on the head of the Ming Dynasty government. If this continues, no matter how full the treasury is, it will have to be eaten up by these people, and it is also these people who have annexed the most land.
Therefore, the title downgrading inheritance law proposed by Xu Jin can undoubtedly solve the great hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty, but it also seriously infringes on the interests of the nobles. Fortunately, Xu Jin is just a move at present, if the officials in the court dare to make such a proposition to the emperor, those nobles may be even more anxious, and try to kill Xu Jin by all means, instead of being criticized like now.
Xu Jin did not answer Wu Dinghou, but turned to the master of the room, Wei Guogong, and said without humility or arrogance: "This is the hospitality of Grandpa Guo?" ”
Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, said solemnly: "It is Wu Dinghou's own idea to study Xu Jieyuan, and it has nothing to do with his own father, Xu Jieyuan can also not agree, and it is okay to continue to participate in the next Spring Festival." ”
Xu Pengju said this shamelessly, it was not good, Wu Dinghou's "spittle" was spit on his face, if Xu Jin didn't accept the offer, then he would have the face to continue to participate in the Spring Festival Appreciation Meeting?
Wu Dinghou said playfully: "Xu Ziqian, you are grinding, is it because of your weak heart?" ”
Xu Jin sneered in his heart, he had already made up his mind to kill the Quartet today, so as to shut up those who were beeping, since Wuding Marquis Guo Xun rushed to put his face up first, then he was not welcome, whether you are a male monkey or a female monkey, you will be beaten into a pig's head.
"Then please ask Master Hou to come up with the question, and then it will be next!" Xu Jin said lightly.
Marquis Wuding was secretly happy, the pair was prepared by him in advance, and he had already greeted Wei Guogong, if Xu Jin couldn't answer, he would drive him out of the Xiangshan Courtyard, and he would not send a carriage to send him back to the city, hehe, this day was freezing and he walked dozens of miles back to the city on his legs, enough for this kid to drink a pot, maybe he didn't even have the face to participate in the test. This is called killing a hundred people, to see which one dares to raise in the future, and put forward this kind of policy strategy that harms the interests of the nobles?
Guo Xun cleared his throat and said neatly: "Hear clearly, the first couplet of this marquis is: four words of a lamp, Chunchun Chunchun." ”
After speaking, he proudly pointed to a lantern hanging on the doorpost of the Dafang Pavilion, and saw that this delicate lantern was embroidered with a festive word "spring" on all sides.
As soon as Guo Xun's uplink came out, everyone present couldn't help but light up, this uplink is excellent, it seems that Wudinghou is indeed prepared, Xu Ziqian is in trouble.
Fei Maozhong and Wei Yang are very calm, Xu Jin is quick to think, and his ability to pair is not weaker than his poetic attainments.
Sure enough, Xu Jin was silent for a moment and said: "My next link is: three more drums and two gongs, bang!" ”
"Good! That's right! Fei Maozhong and Wei Yang applauded in unison, and everyone present couldn't help but echo it, after all, Xu Jin represented a scholar, and Wu Dinghou was a martial artist. If a scholar is stumped by a vulgar martial artist, as a member of the scholar, he will feel that his face is dull.
Xiao Huai and Xia Yan both nodded with their mustaches, this son is really quick-witted!
Marquis Wu Ding snorted coldly and said, "This is the easiest, come again." Ben Hou's upper link is: Break the pomegranate, many sour seeds in the red door! ”
As soon as this couplet came out, all the people present couldn't help but show displeasure, which was obviously a satire on the readers, and the people present were all "sour".
Xu Jin couldn't help but laugh secretly, this product is estimated to be in arrears of IQ, and he actually opened the map cannon group to mock, and said lightly: "Bite open the almond, there is a rotten kernel (person) in the white clothes!" ”
This time, without waiting for Fei Maozhong and Wei Yang to speak, all the lifters present applauded in unison, except for the crazy Lu Li.
Xiao Huai and Xia Yan glanced at each other amusedly, and even the British Duke Zhang Lun next to him couldn't help but look at the Marquis of Wuding, because the latter happened to be wearing an elegant moon-white robe today, and the dozens of years old Hou Ye was so much.
Wu Dinghou's face turned red, and his upper link scolded Xu Jin for being a sour son, but Xu Jin immediately scolded him for being a "rotten person" with his lower link, these readers are really fucking bad!
"Okay, sure enough, there are two brushes, Ben Hou still has a couplet, I'm sorry to count you through!" Wudinghou said coldly: "I heard it, Ben Hou's uplink is: In the two apes cutting the wood in the mountain, this monkey also dares to see (sentence)!" ”
This is obviously also a homophonic couplet that hurts people, this is scolding Xu Jin for being a monkey.
Xu Jin raised his eyebrows, didn't he have a shame, didn't he come to be rude, and said lightly: "A horse is stuck in a quagmire, how can this animal be out of hooves (question)?" ”
As soon as Xu Jin's next couplet came out, it instantly caused laughter, and everyone was amazed by Xu Jieyuan's quick thinking, and admired his courage, and even scolded Wu Dinghou for being an animal!
Xiao Huai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, after all, he was young and vigorous, this time Xu Ziqian and Wudinghou's Liang Zi was over.
At this time, Wuding Marquis Guo Xun's face was red and white, and he stared at Xu Jin viciously, the latter stood calmly, fearlessly meeting the gaze of Wuding Marquis, a marquis who had no real power, and he was not too worried.
Guo Xun said sharply: "Xu Jin, you are so bold, you dare to scold Benhou livestock!" ”
Xu Jin was surprised and said, "Why did Master Hou say this? It's just a pair of people, when have you ever scolded Hou Ye's livestock? ”
Guo Xun was choked suddenly, and he couldn't insist that other people's lower links were scolding themselves, let alone his own upper links scolding people first.
Wei Guogong couldn't help crying and laughing, he originally wanted to teach Xu Jin a lesson, but he ended up humiliating himself, fortunately he didn't go into battle in person, and said with a smile: "Xu Ziqian is really full of talent, worthy of the name, right, right, right, today's things will become a good story in the literary world!" ”
Wu Dinghou couldn't help but twitch, for Xu Jin it was a good story in the literary world, but for himself it was a humiliation!
At this moment, Lu Jun suddenly stood up and said, "Xu Ziqian, it just so happens that I also have a pair of Shanglian to ask you for advice, do you dare to take it?" ”
"Why don't you dare, just if you go out of the next couplet, Lu Juzhi will also leave the Xiangshan Courtyard immediately and no longer participate in the next Spring Festival Appreciation Meeting?" Xu Jin had already seen that this forced goods were not pleasing to the eye, so he simply hugged the grass and beat the rabbit and kicked the goods out of the game in advance.
Lu Yi's face couldn't help but change, and reason told him that he couldn't agree, but his strong self-esteem as a madman overpowered reason, and he said angrily: "Okay, if you are right, I will leave immediately, but if you can't come up, please leave immediately!" ”
Xu Jin said calmly: "This is natural! ”
Lu Jun said coldly: "Okay, this is what you said, don't regret it." After speaking, he pointed to the ducks playing in the pond outside the Fang Pavilion, and said loudly: "Seven ducks floating in the pond, count, three pairs of one!" ”
As soon as this link came out, everyone present gasped, and then fell into deep thought.
Wuding Hou Guo Xun is very happy, although his level is limited, but he also knows that this upper link is extremely difficult to match, in addition to the situation, three homographic "number" words, and three pairs of one add up to exactly "seven", to the next link, difficult!
